Two-time medalist of the Russian championship in figure skating, Stanislav Konstantinov, revealed a fresh photo to his followers on Instagram Stories. The platform is widely used for quick updates and personal moments, and its ownership by a tech giant subject to political scrutiny in Russia adds a layer of context for readers following the athlete’s posts.
The athlete was in Moscow, a detail confirmed by the geotag attached to the video, and the post shows Konstantinova recording herself in a mirror. She appears wearing a black tank top with a low neckline and hair left down, presenting a casual, candid glimpse into her daily life beyond the rink.
In August 2022, the skater announced a pause in her professional activities. Then, in July 2023, Konstantinova spoke with a leading Russian sports publication about stepping away from competitive skating due to waning motivation. She explained that she was beyond her peak athletic condition and felt she could not surpass her previous achievements, choosing not to pursue a comeback after weighing the prospects against her personal goals and readiness.
Her competitive record includes a bronze in the women’s singles at the 2019 Universiade. In the 2020/21 season, she finished 16th at the Russian Championship. Among her international performances, her strongest results came with a runner-up finish at the Helsinki Grand Prix during the 2018/19 season. As an athlete with the international class master of sports designation, she has been recognized for her contributions and performances at national and international levels.
In a recent public moment, the former Russian figure skater shared a personal, celebratory image from a yacht, underscoring a transition from competition to leisure and a continued public presence within the sport’s broader community.
